We've had a pottery, sleepy weekend. Jeff has been working monster hours in the city for a couple of weeks so he caught up on some sleep this weekend. On Saturday, our niece Miss R, came over to make a Mother's Day gift for her mum (my sister). One gift grew to two......R began by making bath salts for her mum. To scent the salts, lavender, ylang ylang or bergamot (can't recall which) and a tiny bit of Australian Sandalwood was used. Miss R even very seriously and diligently decorated the bottle with flowers and a dragonfly from my stash. She was very proud of the end result. So cute.
Bath salts done, I was informed that some caramel fudge would be a good present so we looked up a recipe and checked to see that we had the ingredients. We did so the cooking began.
After 10 minutes or so Miss R lost interest so I was left to stand and do the stirring and stirring and stirring that is involved. :) I hope Susan enjoyed her gifts as her girl was very proud.
I had planned to show you some of the progress we have made in the garden but I've run out of energy. So I'll leave you with a picture of our African Tulip towering in full bloom over our roof. The sun was catching it as we arrived home and I thought it looked lovely - a break from all the green.
I'll share our garden progress with you tomorrow.
